Intake upgrade

After searching around on G35driver, its kind of confusing on what type of intake to buy. Is a stillen intake with the ztube the best option? Or should i get a CAI from a different company. Im looking to maximize HP on a 2004 G coupe

If you're looking to maximize HP, stick with the stock intake and look at different modifications.

The spacer can be installed on the stock OEM intake manifold right?

Fact....intakes don't make any extra HP! But if you're going to get one and don't wish to have issues with heat, Stillens CAI/Z-Tube is the best you'll find. You can lose 20% of your HP during the summer using pop-up chargers or any intake made of metal! (heat soak) MotorDynes 5/16" spacer has long been the "Best Bang for your Buck" and corrects Nissans design error....Gary

it's kinda an off time right now, try applying to a movie theater or retail stores right before summer because that's when those places get busiest and need more employee's
